أثر برنامج تدريسي قائم على نظرية الرياضيات الواقعية في مستوى التحصيل الرياضي و طبيعة الاتجاه نحو الرياضيات لدى طلاب البرامج التحضيرية بجامعة الإمام محمد بن سعود الإسلامية

Abstract EN

This research aimed to design and identify the effectiveness of using a Teaching Program Based on Realistic Mathematics Theory on Mathematics Achievement and the Attitude towards Mathematics among students of the preparatory programs in Imam Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University.

Quasi-experimental design was used in this study.

The study sample included seventy-two students divided into two groups; an experimental group (37 students) and a control group (35 students).

Experimental group students used a program based on a Realistic Mathematics Theory whereas those of the control group did not use a Realistic Mathematics Program.

An achievement test that consisted of 17 questions was built and validated in order to measure the impact at knowledge, application and reasoning levels, and a scale of Attitude towards Mathematics was built and validated in order to measure the impact of using Realistic Mathematics Program on students' Attitude towards Mathematics, results showed, there are significant differences at the level of significance (α = 0.05) in the impact of using the Teaching Program in increasing academic achievement and Attitude towards Mathematics between the control and experimental groups for the experimental group, a Teaching Program Based on Realistic Mathematics Theory are recommended to be used in teaching and learning of mathematics in math classes of Preparatory Programs in Imam Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University.
